Storing rolled oats - in the fridge/freezer?

Anyway, the bag says to store them in the fridge or freezer. In all my oatmeal-eating life, oatmeal just stayed in the carton or at most in a glass jar. Does anyone else keep uncooked oats refridgerated?

My condo is small and I have a space-management problem so they end up there instead of in non-existent cupboard-space. I had no idea this was advised, and always felt it kind of odd. But I can report that it seems to do the oats no harm (although I don't think they're better off either). Maman always kept them in jars.
